Two tragic cases of children dying from sepsis have highlighted systemic failures in hospitals to recognize and treat the deadly infection. In New South Wales, five-year-old Cathy died after her parents were sent home from Bathurst Base Hospital without a proper diagnosis, despite her deteriorating condition. Similarly, three-year-old Zadie Ajetunmobi was taken to Broomfield Hospital in Essex with a high temperature but was misdiagnosed; she died ten hours later after a cardiac arrest. Both families are now pushing for greater awareness and improved medical protocols regarding sepsis, as they believe timely and correct treatment could have saved their daughters. Inquests into both cases are expected to shed light on the hospitals' handling of sepsis and the need for better training among medical staff. These heartbreaking stories serve as a reminder of the critical importance of advocating for proper medical care when symptoms escalate.
